It's a solid reference with a ton of data in it. With it handy I feel very confident that I will not be lacking in the details that I might need to look up for the exam. I think its time to upsize this one to a fullsize book. It currently a small paperback size but as thick as two bibles (or 1.75 George R.R. Martin Clash of Kings books for you heathens) with very thin pages. No one is even pretending to slip this in their pocket. Just make it a full size hardback book already and it would be even more useful. So the 30th edition will be full size right!? If it was bigger it would be my backup to the MERM, as it is the pages are so thin and small I cant take notes in it or highlight or anything. This NEEDs to be full size. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Every engineers bible! *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2015* I swear by this book. Granted I haven't had many editions in my possession but everything I have to look up on the Internet for my job as a mechanical/process engineer is 98% in this book. It takes almost all textbooks I've had for my degree specific classes and compacts the information into 2800 chock filled pages. It will soon be filled with stickies and post its for critical info areas. Equations, stress, strain, deflection, material selection, grades, fasteners, gearing, cross section analysis, conversion tables, machining processes, it's all here. It has earned a permanent spot on my desk at work. I use it every chance I get.Shell out the extra bucks for this thicker page version as I've heard bad things about how bad the page bleed is from the original edition. Every mechanical, design, industrial or process engineer or machinist should have this book on hand!! ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Please see photos before buying this book *by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2012* Update 7/30/12I have received my new copy with the improved paper, and have uploaded a photo of the same page as my previous book with the lesser quality paper. You can see that there is a significant improvement in the opacity of the paper and a reduction in the amount of bleed through from the following pages.Is it as good as my 24th edition? It's close, but no.Is it good enough for daily use? Probably.The text has gone from unreadable in the first printing to tolerable in the second. I've spent quite a bit of time today looking at various pages, and while distracting, the text from following pages doesn't completely overwhelm what you are trying to read. We shall see over time, but for the moment the larger text wins out over the tiny text in my 24th edition. The large print book will be kept with me at work and my old book will go in my toolbox at home.Use your own judgement before buying this book. Take a look at the photos I have uploaded and see for yourself if the bleed through is more distracting than you can accept.I've changed the number of stars in the review from one to three. The book should still be more readable considering its use.==============================Original review:Twenty years ago, I bought the 24th edition after graduating from college. It has served me well over the years but I wanted to give myself a treat this year and buy the updated version. I went with the large print since it was going to be my last one, and I wanted to make it easier on my eyes to read it later in life.I had read that the pages were thinner in the last few editions making it more difficult to read, but I decided to buy it anyway. How bad could it be? Well, I found out how bad. With luck, Amazon will publish my photo on the product page and you can see for yourself how thin the pages are. You can see the back of the page clearly, the front and back of the next page, and sometimes even the next page! This book is vastly more difficult to read than the 24th edition I have, and despite having some additional information I would like to have at my fingertips and the larger type, I just can't keep this book.What good is a reference book if you can't read it? What good is having super thin and super delicate pages on a book that you will use the most?Please, do yourself a favor and find a good used book. The information hasn't changed much, and your eyes will thank you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1311748-machinerys-handbook-29th](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1311748-machinerys-handbook-29th) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
